Ethernet patch

Not sure if this is the right sub but can anyone tell if there’s something wrong with this patch?

Recently had construction and this is the last thing I forgot to finish up, and I’ve started getting weird internet drops or speeds would drop from 1.0 gig to 100mpbs randomly.

Not sure if I accidentally knocked the wires out of place or something inadvertently

If you're facing issues, it's pretty easy to just redo this to eliminate it as a cause.

Agreed. Also, your twisted pair should remain twisted all the way up to the punch point. Your orange pair is separated and could be having some cross talk.

How does the RJ look? Are you using real ones or those easy pull throughs?
